However, Carey performed throughout the guidelines and broke the stumps and third umpire Marais Erasmus adjudged it stumped in favour of Australia.

A dazed Bairstow walked again however an sad England captain after the sport did not recognize the Australian tactic as he felt that they clearly knew Bairstow hadn’t ventured out in pursuit of attempting to steal a run.

“Would I want to win a game in that manner? I think the answer for me is no,” Stokes informed BBC Test Match Special after the sport.

In reality, the cheeky Stuart Broad, next-man in after Bairstow, did not let Carey go with out letting him know his emotions.

“That’s all you will ever be remembered for,” the stump mic caught Broad expressing his displeasure to Carey.

However, Ravichandran Ashwin, who has all the time been lectured on the ‘Spirit of Cricket’ lauded Carey for displaying ample cricketing smarts.

“We must get one fact loud and clear. The keeper would never have a dip at the stumps from that far out in a test match unless he or his team have noticed a pattern of the batter leaving his crease after leaving a ball like Bairstow did. We must applaud the game smarts of the individual rather than skewing it towards unfair play or spirit of the game,” Ashwin tweeted.

As per ICC Playing Conditions, rule 20.1.2, Carey was effectively inside his rights to interrupt the stumps.

The rule 20.1.2 states: “The ball shall be considered to be dead when it is clear to the bowler’s end umpire that the fielding side and both batsmen at the wicket have ceased to regard it as in play.”
